El Jardin Cabins & Camping Ground, Samaipata, Bolivia

These beautifully located cabins and camping ground is set amongst orchards and gardens with Amboro Nationa Park as a lush backdrop.

It features quirky two-storey domed adobe huts, a lodge with basic rooms and a meadow for camping.

Everything is geared towards being as ecologically friendly as possible and they make use of a dry toilet, solar shower, vegetable garden, compost, adobe constructions, paint created from natural pigments and impermeable or pesticide-free agriculture. They are mindful of the importance of conserving the virgin forest in general.

There is a communal kitchen available for guest use as well as a barbeque and campfire area with a camp oven. If you don't feel like cooking for a night, the on-site cafe and restaurant also provide decent meals for guests.

Volunteers are welcome to work in the garden and there is also an on-site library. They run various theatre workshops and even provide a free stage for cabaret, plays and circus performance the first Saturday of every month.

They can help you organise excursions into Amboro National Park, to El Fuerte, and the waterfalls as well as guided local walks.
